I asked my plumber, who was here a few days ago clearing roots from my plumbing (main line between house and street), what the best root control product was -- meaning that stuff you flush down the toilet once a month to prevent roots growing into your pipes.
His answer was to put some rock salt into a container, poke some holes in it, and put it in the toilet tank. This sounded like a great idea since I know that salt will kill plants.
Then I got online and looked it up. Started seeing things about salt actually damaging plumbing. That's when I decided to come and ask you knowledgeable folks.
Is using rock salt in the toilet tank a good idea, or just real stupid?
Thanks in advance,
